We are doing something new here at Deal Farm…a blog! I will be writing these blogs whenever I have something of interest to share. Some days I may tell you about what soaps I made that day, others I may write about the challenges of running your own business. I may even let you know that we’ll be introducing a new product. I hope you will enjoy reading them, and perhaps learn something new or enjoy a laugh. As always, feel free to contact me with questions, comments, stories, or things you’d like me to include in this blog.
Hope you are enjoying the start of the fall season. It still feels like the heart of summer here in New England.
Until next time,
Renee

I fell in love with this baby goat when I was 6 yrs old... was it a sign of things to come?

About Me
- Renee
- It’s been 6 years since I started Deal Farm Soap Co. It’s amazing to me how fast life takes you down exciting new paths. 6 years ago I was a footwear designer. It was a fun career, which rewarded me every day I saw someone wearing shoes I designed. I’m sure some people must have wondered about the girl smiling and staring at their feet! But once I started making soap, I couldn’t deny the passion I felt for my new hobby. Soon, I said good-bye to shoes and hello to soap. I dove in headfirst and got my business off the ground… formulating product, designing packaging, building a website, and the list goes on. During the past 6 years I’ve had more late nights than I dare mention, cutting soap into bars, packaging products and preparing orders for shipment, and I love it! 3 years ago I added a new baby into the mix. True, my late nights are getting later and I get less work done during day light hours, but I have the freedom of being my own boss. My 3-year-old son even takes pride in watching his Mom run a business. During a recent trip into Whole Foods Market, he chatted with customers in the store about how he was there to see Mommy’s soap… now that really makes me smile.
